Nobody teaches you how to study. They just hand you a textbook and wish you luck. This episode, we get into the habits that actually helped, the ones that did absolutely nothing, and whether any of us retained anything past the exam. Spoiler. Consider this the episode your teachers never gave you.

Seeing as we’re both at the 3- and 7-year marks in our relationships, we thought it was fitting to do an episode on this topic. One of us definitely experienced a shift right around the 3-year point.

If you’ve ever hosted—or a...

This week we set out to design our dream school. It starts off hopeful and quickly turns into a list of things we would change, fix, and question. Somewhere along the way, we may or may not go on a bit of a rant about the role of parents and what actually needs to happen for kids to thrive. It’s part vision, part frustration, and very real.
